Deep Inside the Numbers: Auburn-Texas A&M
Written on November 2, 2017 at 8:23 am, by College BattleGround
I like when Auburn beats Arkansas. The Hogs learned a simple college football lesson: look like Rutgers, play like Rutgers. Here’s to hoping the Aggies wear all smokey gray or black on Saturday.
